Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
So Harness Racing NSW CEO John Dumesny has this crackerjack new idea, a truly ground breaking one. He is going to spend a fortune on setting up a replica of the NRL’s Super Coach comp, and run it across six months of harness racing. It’s a beauty. You get a salary cap of $14.4 million […]
So how does this work? Paul Van Gestel – we will call him PVG – is the son of the gallops trainer Mike Van Gestel, and brother of the former Chief Steward Marc. In October 2020 PVG was a horse trainer himself, although not much of one. He had two runners that month at Hawkesbury, […]
So far there have been 6 heats of ID22 run. meaning that there have been 18 placings in these heats. Horses trained by Tonkin and Stewart have filled 9 of these 18 spots.

Well we were wrong about Neil Boyle being a Steward in QLD, but not by far, and we are not wrong about the rest. Boyle is now a Steward in Northern NSW. I bet PVL didn’t know that he used jiggers as a trainer when he appointed him. It gets worse. Since we published the […]
Ben Cleary is a wrong gee. The son of highly respected Queanbeyan trainer Frank Cleary of Clan O’Sullivan fame, and brother of equally well respected trainer Joe Cleary, is a seed that obviously fallen a long way from the tree, for he is a con-artist, a scammer, a fraudster, a thief, and just plain no […]
